Teams start training early to have that edge over the opposition. I think training this early runs the risk of players losing interest during the season. Gone are the days where footy was fun. It's a job for a lot of guys now with the amount of money being flicked around.

Have heard the Benalla Saints are in a fair bit of debt and are throwing extra money around at their local kids to stay. Any truth in this?

Do you guys think there'll be a chance of Ovens & Murray teams trying to join the GVFL in the future years? A lot of people seem pretty upset and disappointed the way the league is being managed at the moment.

I am not certain on anything and it could be small town rumours/big footy rubbish but Shane McKean is coaching Gooambat where a lot of the saints reserves players are linked, Mellington linked with Albury (again). Money talks, will be interesting to see if a few follow the money

You would think that would be the case... I haven't heard of any new recruits only departures at the Saints. Like I said earlier, the loss of a few players could hurt their depth to cover injuries.

Didn't Donehue play at All Blacks this season? Would find it strange if he left to play at another O&K club

Word on the street is Benalla is going to lose a considerable amount of their reserves players to an Ovens & King side. Not sure how true this is, but it's what I've heard. Would surely hurt their depth if this is the case.

Who wins this weekends game between Rochy and Benalla?

As well as Buckley, the other thing I find quite amusing is Josh Mellington kicks close to 100 goals in the H&A season and polls 3 votes... Seriously?!

They must be pretty confident he can bring a few with him... 15+ maybe? I wouldn't think this seasons players would stay if the previous coach isn't coaching there.

Interesting to hear that All Blacks have appointed a 21 year old playing coach for the seniors. Big task ahead after seeing some of the results from this season.

If Mellington is found guilty, do you think Benalla can win the premiership without him? 90+ goals out of a GV side is a huge spot to fill.

Seahunt is out of bait after the amount you guys just swallowed!

Who wins this weeks blockbuster between Benalla and Rochester and why? Will the home ground advantage for Benalla and trip from Rochy be factors?

I actually have a lot of close mates that play or are associated with Greta. It is a fantastic club with an excellent culture. I'm not sure why there is so much hate towards them. By the sounds of it, their people and club sound a lot more welcoming than some of the other people on here.

I got to the Nth Wang Vs All Blacks game on Saturday. Close encounter between two struggling sides but even though both teams are well off the pace it was quite an entertaining game of footy. The game was scrappy at times but there was also some great skills shown. I thought number 13 for North...

Can the Benalla All Blacks get over the line this week and break their drought against North Wangaratta?

Being new to the GV area and an Alan Didak fan I thought I would cruise over to watch the Blacks V Greta game. All I had to do for the day was pay my entry fee, have a few beers and a pie, but I thought the All Blacks committee organised a sensational day! The weather was perfect, the footy...

I heard that Palpratt had done his ACL... That will be longer than 5-6 weeks. Slowly getting to know players and situations at clubs, feels like I'm a local haha

Who are the players to return?

I was lucky enough to get over and watch the first half of the Saints v United game before I had to travel back to Shepp for work. Very even match from what I saw. The thing I did notice was Benalla paid no respect to number 12 from United. I think he would have had at least 12 touches roaming...

Benalla in trouble

Why on earth does the GVFL insist on playing Sunday games? It would be bad enough for players to give up their weekends during finals let alone during the home and away season. All games should be played on Saturday so players can still enjoy part of their weekend. Is this a regular thing in...

Surely if Rochester are travelling that nicely there would be more players capable of playing interleague. I find it as a bit of a joke Silver Tongue.

Didn't he play for Fremantle and then went to the bombers in the VFL? When reading this and the interleague squad surprised not to read his name

What kind of strife you talking about Silver Tongue? I know drugs are a huge issue in many towns but are drugs a big issue in the GVFL?

Rochester looking very good early stages on in the year. As a person new to the area and after reading a lot about last season, does anybody else think that Benalla's real chance to win the premiership was last year? Do they have a lot of players out? Reading results they don't seem to be the...

Thanks heaps for the feedback guys, really appreciate it. Based out of Shepparton, but on the road a fair bit, so pretty time poor at the moment. Definitely looking at getting involved somewhere. Not a ruckman unfortunately, too short for that! Have played forward and back, sometimes on the...

Hi Guys, I have just moved to the GV for work and was wanting to know who the decent teams/games to watch are. I have heard a lot about Benalla and more recently going through this thread Euroa and Seymour. What other teams/players are guys to watch? Thought this thread and a footy team would...
